Frequently asked questions
Can my AI search for a specific dashboard or data table by keyword?
Yes. Ask the agent to perform an asset search using a natural phrase like 'Q3 revenue report' or 'customer addresses table'. The agent triggers Atlan's semantic asset search, returning linked objects across all connected BI and database sources.
Are custom Atlan Classifications and Tags exposed to the AI?
Yes. The agent can list all organizational classifications configured in Atlan (e.g., Sensitive, Restricted, CCPA). This lets the AI contextualize whether the assets it discovers are safe to be shared globally or subject to governance restrictions.
Can the agent modify or write back metadata to Atlan?
No. This MCP integration focuses strictly on safe discovery and organizational governance retrieval (queries). It guarantees your metadata catalogues remain pristine, acting purely as an active lookup augmentation tool for your agent.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
